We love making white chicken chili from dried beans in the farmhouse. Hearty, cozy filling, and made with gut healthy homemade bone broth, this soup is a fall staple in our home.

I am on a fall recipe roll lately. Since sweater weather and cozy blankets get just about everyone excited, its only natural.
You know what I love about fall more than anything else? Soup. Soup. And more soup.
I love it so much. Its easy, filling and I can incorporate every single food group into one magical little dish. During the summer I still make soup (because the bone broth factory doesn’t get shut down on 100 degree days!) but no one is ever overly excited to eat it.
I usually knock the thermostat down a few notches on soup making day, so I don’t get as many groans when I bring a piping hot stainless pot and six heavy ironstone bowls to the table.
It all goes down a little easier with cast iron cornbread or homemade whole grain sourdough bread.
During the fall, I have a glorious excuse to keep a perpetual pot simmering on the stove. Cold weather.
Sure, autumn brings with it the need to pack up more than five pairs of flip flops and ten bare feet in the van for every outing, but at least I can make soup to my heart’s content.
White chicken chili is my current favorite, because I don’t really have to serve anything else with it for my family to feel full.
When I make tomato soup, or butternut squash soup, I usually have to come up with something protein-y to go with it, or my hungry gang of growing hooligans complains that they’re hungry less than an hour later….or while I’m still doing the lunch dishes.
With the chicken, beans and broth, this soup (chili, whatever you want to call it) keeps us all going until the next meal, when I pull the pot right back out to go for round two. Because why cook twice when you can cook twice as much once?!
Why is bone broth good for you
Bone broth is rich in minerals, calcium and magnesium, and very easy to digest. Its also a great source of amino acids. I first became aware of its incredible gut healing properties when reading the GAPs book by Dr. Natasha Campbell Mcbride.
Since we make a lot of whole chickens, we end up with a lot of bones for bone broth. And I never let a bone go to waste without first getting all of the gut healthy gelatin out of it!
I shared how to make bone broth in the Instant Pot in this post.
For this recipe, I cook everything in bone broth to get more of the good stuff into my family’s bodies. The white beans soak up the bone broth like little broth sponges. We end up going through almost a gallon for this one recipe. It serves our family for two meals.
